Carseat Headrest Announce New Album and Drop Lyric Video
Carseat Headrest have announced a new album, Making a Door Less Open, and dropped a new lyric video for the lead single "Can't Cool Me Down" ahead of the May 1st release date. Tracklist and upcoming tourdates are below.
The single is a collaboration between Toledo and 1 Trait Danger, an electronic side project featuring drummer Andrew Katz and Toledo’s alternative persona, Trait. The album was recorded twice—once as a traditional rock band (guitars, drums, and bass) and once in a MIDI environment using only synthesized sounds. The two approaches were ultimately combined.
“Bob Dylan said, ‘If someone’s wearing a mask, he’s gonna tell you the truth … if he’s not wearing a mask, it’s highly unlikely,'” Toledo said of the alt-persona “He never actually wore a mask onstage so I don’t know why he said that. But I decided to start wearing a mask for a couple of reasons. One, I still get nervous being onstage with everybody looking at me. If everyone is looking at the mask instead, then it feels like we’re all looking at the same thing, and that is more honest to me.”
“Two, music should be about enjoying yourself, especially live music, and I think of this costume as a way to remind myself and everyone else to have some fun with it,” he continued. “I don’t think it changes anything else about the songs or how you feel about them to be able to drop it for a second and have fun with it. If you can’t do that then you’re in a bad place.”
Toledo says the album took four years to make. The last time they released new music was Teens Of Denial in 2016.
Making a Door Less Open is currently available for preorder.
